Letter to the editor … They’re the regressives

In the aftermath of the recent assassination of popular youth political influencer Charlie Kirk, could we at least stop calling Democrats, socialists, left-wing activists and their ilk “progressives”? There is absolutely nothing progressive about a political movement that engages in assassination, the arson of car dealerships and the burning, rioting and looting of major U.S. cities. If anything, this political movement is actually regressive. Its violence, coercion and tactics are downright medieval. In this day and age, it is vitally important to have truth in labeling.
